Peugeot 508 (11 - present)

The 508 represents a bold statement from Peugeot in that it represents an amalgam of a large family/fleet car with that of a more luxurious model. The result is a large, quite luxurious family-fleet car to cope with the best in the segment. There’s acres of space in the cabin and a huge boot for families. The cabin reflects the upmarket drive the company wants to reflect in its cars, with lots of soft material lining the seats and trims. Importantly too there is a high level of standard spec – both comfort and safety – as well a whole new edge to the driving dynamics. There are fine petrol and diesel engines with the latter able to cover enormous distances on one tank of fuel.
